The Conversation Art Podcast

A podcast that goes behind the scenes and between the lines of the contemporary art worlds, through conversations with artists, dealers, curators, and collectors--based in Los Angeles, but reaching nationally and internationally.

Julio Cesar Morales, artist and curator at the ASU Museum, talks about: Living in the sometimes conservative culture of Phoenix; his move from San Francisco - where he curated for Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and co-created the artist-run space Queen's Nails - to Arizona, and why he made it; the fire that occurred at Queen's Nails as a result of exhibiting a massive number of flaming matchsticks in the shape of the U.S., a piece by the art collective Claire Fontaine, and the ensuing fines he and his partner had to deal with; curating a George Kuchar film retrospective; and his Undocumented Interventions series, which led to discussion about immigration, border crossing and the future of the international drug trade.

Tulsa Kinney, along with co-host Deb Klowden Mann, talks about coming to Los Angeles from southern Missouri, her art career, which was eclipsed by her writing and then her launch of Artillery, Los Angeles' first glossy contemporary art magazine, in 2006. We talk about the struggles of running and surviving as an art mag, working with writers who are afraid to write critical reviews, the onerous aspects of the art world as Tulsa sees them, and the changing and expanding L.A. art world and how that might be affecting the magazine's future.
